Six Sigma Black Belt 20-day Training Course

Who should attend?

Staff identified as potential leaders of improvement projects. Attendees must have access to a laptop computer installed with Minitab. Six Sigma Black Belts are full time experts in process improvement. They lead small project teams to address problems using the Six Sigma Process Improvement Methodology that gives:

millions of pounds savings

reduced process cycle times

improved quality

What is it? Black Belt Training comprises four 5-day modules based around

the DMAICT (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control and

Transfer) Improvement Process. Each module is separated by

approximately one month so that delegates can put into practice

what they have learnt. It is advisable that attendees arrive with

an outline project in order that they can receive advice and

guidance during the first module. Attendees must have access to

a laptop computer installed with Minitab. A copy of Minitab can

be provided at cost.

How will they benefit?

After attending this course you will be able to:

Define a Six Sigma process improvement project

Form a project team Lead the team through the Six Sigma project process to deliver benefits to

the business Know when and how to use the Six Sigma tool-set to make data driven

improvements Coach team members in the Six Sigma project process and tool-set

About us

The Six Sigma Group specialises in providing Six Sigma training. This ranges from basic awareness training right

up to Master Black Belt level. Our training courses are exclusively for companies seeking to improve their Six

Sigma and Lean capability. If you are embarking on a company-wide Six Sigma programme, then The Six Sigma

Group can support you every step of the way.


Six Sigma Black Belt 20-day Training Course (Module 1)

OBJECTIVES FOR BLACK BELT MODULE 1

DEFINE

Understand that the Voices of the Customer, Process, People and Stakeholder generate projects and how projects are identified

Understand the dynamics of team working and how to form a balanced team Understand the concepts, framework and roles within Six Sigma and Lean Understand the process at high level

Key Deliverable: A well-supported, well-defined, well-justified and bounded project. MEASURE PT 1

Understand the importance of variation and its reduction to achieve better quality performance Be able to measure the ‘as is’ process capability (Sigma value), against which improvements will be judged Be able to analyse an existing process through process mapping, work flow measurement, cycle time and value-

added versus non value-added activity Understand how to identify waste and various ways of dealing with it.

Key Deliverable: Ability to measure the process performance and to consider process acceleration through waste removal.



OBJECTIVES FOR BLACK BELT MODULE 2 MEASURE PT 2

Gain a deeper understanding of the nature of data and how to collect it properly Understand the importance of sampling and how to quantify sample size Undertake measurement systems analyses (gauge r&r) to ensure data integrity Formulate a data collection plan Undertake preliminary graphical analysis of data using Minitab

Key Deliverable: Collected data. ANALYSE

Understand how conclusions about populations can be extracted from samples Understand the nature of the risks in this context and how to mitigate them Understand how Minitab can be used to perform data analysis

Key Deliverable: Verified true root causes of variation in process performance.



OBJECTIVES FOR BLACK BELT MODULE 3

REGRESSION ANALYSIS Be able to establish with certainty the relationship between process variables and the process output (the Xs and Ys)

Key Deliverable: Focus on the key variables that need to be changed or removed to improve process capability. IMPROVE PART 1

Be able to apply tools and techniques to generate several potential solutions Ability to select the best solution from alternatives, including criteria of cost-benefit, ease of implementation and cus-

tomer focus Understand the importance of promoting and piloting the solution to minimise risk and maximise buy-in to the

change Understand how to apply various forms of Design of Experiments to obtain a quantitative model for the performance

metric(s) and truly understand the inter-relationships between the root causes of variation Recognise the application of hypothesis testing to prove that a difference has been made to a process

Key Deliverable: Well justified, cost effective, bought-into solution.



OBJECTIVES FOR BLACK BELT MODULE 4 IMPROVE PART 2

Appreciate how to quantify and manage risks in implementation Develop robustness in the new process

Key Deliverable: Tried and tested solution, successfully implemented with improved Sigma level of performance and quantified benefits. CONTROL

Understand the importance of process monitoring to ensure sustainability of solution Understand how to choose and use appropriate tool from various control charts to monitor process performance Appreciate the impact of behaviours, rewards and measures on process performance

Key Deliverable: Process monitoring and feedback mechanisms managed by the process owner. TRANSFER Understand the importance and financial benefit of transferring solutions and disseminating learning throughout the organisation to multiply benefits Key Deliverable: Lessons learned are captured and disseminated and benefits multiplied.
